GPO to prevent access to IE's Connections tab? Jack Black 02-10-2008

 Hi, all! XP/Pro domain users under mutliple AD domains; WebSense 6.3 on
back end running on Win2k Server w/ISA Server...

Is there a way to prevent domain users from accessing the Connections tab in
the Internet Options dialog in IE6/7? Seems a few users have discovered how
to shut off policy-required use of the proxy server, and are access
"naughty" websites. Did some cursory searches and didn't find anything.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Jack

 If they dont go thru the proxy server, how do they get out to the
internet?

We only have ONE WAY OUT, thru the proxy server

Hello Jack,

In a GPO go to User configuration,Administrative templates,Windows
components,Internet
Explorer, Internet Control Panel>Disable the Connections Page.

Best regards
